So this is how Portland organized their shop. What kind of ideas can we glean for our own use?

Well, for one thing, an assload of money could be useful.

(I've added myself to the TechShop mailing list, with the interest box for "own and operate a TechShop in my area" checked. Might as well hear what they have to say.)

hard to tell much from that one pic.

Try their web page instead. (I note that they did it in Joomla.)

still not a lot of pics... seems they have wood and metal split off, and a soft goods and electronics separate areas... not too far off of our intents.
